CarbConnect Community uses a Trust Level system (TL0–TL3) to encourage positive engagement and build a safe, helpful environment for everyone.
You may see labels like these when viewing user profiles or roles:
0: new user
1: basic user
2: member
3: regular
These labels match internal Trust Levels (TL0–TL3), which are automatically assigned based on your activity.
Trust Level 0 – New User
You just joined! To unlock basic features, increase your activity to reach TL1.
Trust Level 1 – Basic User
You’ll be promoted automatically after you:
- Enter at least 5 topics
- Read at least 30 posts
- Spend 10 minutes reading posts
Trust Level 2 – Member
Requires more consistent activity:
- Read 100 posts, spend 60+ minutes reading
- Visit the site on 15 different days
- Reply to 50 topics, give and receive 200 likes
Trust Level 3 – Regular
For long-term, highly engaged members:
- Active in 50 of the last 100 days
- Read 500+ posts, reply to 100 topics, view 200 topics
- No recent flagged posts, and 500 likes given/received
Why it matters:
Higher Trust Levels unlock more features — such as posting more often, editing community content, flagging, or helping moderate.
Note:
These rules may be updated from time to time without notice depending on platform policy or community needs.
